Parking at the NIH/NLM


Although vistor parking has always been scarce at NIH, several construction projects currently underway have made the situation much worse. To alleviate the situation, several off-campus parking sites have been established, served by shuttle buses running on a regular schedule, which can take you to various points on the NIH campus:

Garage 57

This public garage is situated in the commercial district of Bethesda, approximately 1 mile from the NIH campus. It is accessed from Bethesda Avenue, which can be reached by either Arlington Road or Woodmont Avenue. Refer to the map.

Mid-Pike Plaza

NIH visitors may use the Park & Ride lot attached to the Mid-Pike Plaza shopping mall, which is situated at the corner of Rockville Pike and Montrose Road, about 3 miles north of Bethesda. Refer to the map.

Call (301)496-2351 for details, or call the NIH Parking Office (NIH Building 31, Room B3B04) at (301)496-6851.
